REFLECTOR: Also a new Velocity Owner

[Velocity]

I just spoke to the FAA examiner who is coming out to check my plane in two weeks . The faa Shut down  does not effect his job I was told.
Why are builders using a Dar instead of a FAA examiner. FAA is already paid for through your taxes.

  The DAR I'm working with is referred by the Salt Lake City EAA Chapter 23. His fee is $400. I also pay the SLC chapter an extra $50 for a pre-inspection. They have a team of two guys who come down to Provo and make sure I'm ready for the DAR. I didn't try the FAA - last time I asked the FAA guy he told me I'd have to get in line for 2-3 months.

    How much are DARs asking these days for airworthiness inspection? I wonder if the FAA furlough is stopping their inspections?

      I've scheduled my DAR inspection for end of August, so dreams do come true. I look forward to your web site and progress reports, Patrick. The reflector is a great resource, so don't hesitate to use it freely. Where are you located?

        Hello Reflector readers,



        My name is Patrick and I have taken the task to finish a XL5-FG project, started by Tom Tolton. The plane arrived to my house a few weeks ago and now I am studying his work, reading and matching pictures he sent me and planning for the future. Since the airplane is mostly a shell by now, I get to do all the interior, instruments, engine etc. I am sure my skills as an airplane mechanic will come in handy, although it’s been a while since I turned wrenches   I am sure it will come back to me quick.



        I am in the process of making my website, it’s running and some pictures are available, but more is to come once I have time. Talking about time, I am planning to really this project in about two years, when I have saved more money again for the big stuff, and it coincides with my youngest to start Kindergarten. That will give me 3 days a week (I mostly work/fly the weekend) to be down in the garage and tinker around. I will be joining your conversations online already and listen and observe.
